Part 3Topic 15 - Nature, Weather & AnimalsEasy-Intermediate

What do you think are some of the benefits to humans from protecting wild animals?

Bạn nghĩ việc bảo vệ động vật hoang dã mang lại những lợi ích gì cho con người?

[POINT]Point

Protecting wild animals benefits humans because healthy wildlife supports healthy ecosystems.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Animals help maintain natural balance through pollination, seed dispersal and food chains, while protected species can also support tourism income.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A well-managed wildlife area may attract visitors and create local jobs while protecting forests and water sources.

[EXTEND]Extend

The benefit is therefore practical as well as ethical, because human health, food systems and local economies all depend to some degree on functioning ecosystems.

Part 3Topic 15 - Nature, Weather & AnimalsEasy-Intermediate

Have you seen any TV programs about animals?

Bạn đã từng xem chương trình truyền hình nào về động vật chưa?

[POINT]Point

Yes, I have seen several animal documentaries and wildlife programmes.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

I like them because they show animals in natural habitats and explain behaviour that people rarely see directly.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A programme about big cats or ocean animals can show hunting, migration and family behaviour in detail.

[EXTEND]Extend

Good educational content can make viewers more interested in conservation, although programmes should avoid turning wildlife into simple entertainment.

Part 3Topic 15 - Nature, Weather & AnimalsEasy-Intermediate

Do you support doing experiment on animals?

Bạn có ủng hộ việc tiến hành thí nghiệm trên động vật không?

[POINT]Point

I support animal experiments only in limited cases where there is a serious medical need and no reliable alternative.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Before researchers carry out a study, an ethical review should check the expected benefit, level of harm and available non-animal alternatives.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Testing a potentially life-saving treatment may be more defensible than using animals for unnecessary cosmetic research.

[EXTEND]Extend

The long-term goal should be to replace animal experiments whenever safer and scientifically reliable methods become available.

Part 3Topic 15 - Nature, Weather & AnimalsEasy-Intermediate

Why do some people refuse to eat animals?

Tại sao một số người lại từ chối ăn thịt động vật?

[POINT]Point

Some people refuse to eat animals because of ethical, environmental or health concerns.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They may worry about animal welfare or believe a plant-based diet uses fewer resources.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A person who dislikes factory farming may choose vegetarian meals even if meat is common in their culture.

[EXTEND]Extend

For many people, the decision is about following their conscience, although others reduce meat without giving it up completely.

Part 3Topic 15 - Nature, Weather & AnimalsEasy-Intermediate

What would happen when some species disappear on earth?

Điều gì sẽ xảy ra khi một số loài biến mất trên Trái đất?

[POINT]Point

When species disappear, ecosystems can become less stable and less able to support human needs.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Biodiversity loss can break food chains, reduce pollination and weaken ecosystem balance.

[EXAMPLE]Example

If an important predator disappears, prey numbers may rise sharply and damage vegetation or crops.

[EXTEND]Extend

Some extinctions may seem distant from daily life, but repeated species loss can reduce the resilience of whole ecosystems and make environmental problems harder to reverse.
